The whole area, situated on the west side of the Tower of London has been redesigned in order to improve the accessibility, safety and appearance of Tower Hill. The Tower, synonymous with the last 1000 years of British history, is one of the most visited historic monuments in the country and this project has provided it with a setting far more appropriate to its status as a World Heritage Site. In particular, the two education centres, one within and one outside the Tower walls, are an important benefit to the local community and all visitors to the area will enjoy the pedestrianised Hill and its improved vistas of both the River Thames and the Tower of London.
Johnsons Wellfield Quarries supplied design and fix contractors – Szerelmy with 1120 square metres of paving along with ashlar cladding and copings which contributed to the judges comment, "this is an exceptional piece of landscaping, giving a suitably high quality for such an important space, successful, restrained and simple, using good quality materials" and the award for landscaping at the Natural Stone Awards 2006.
